@MartinSLewis I myself didn’t work as I had to shield but I work in home care and so does my daughter she was working 50+ hours a week with little ppe and had to wear only one mask a day to wear yes she did save money like a lot of people but at what risk x
I know, I know this is incredible artwork, and no, you can't buy it. The real key is how will our graphic designer nick turn this piece of scrap I've drawn about council tax discounts into a beautiful graphic on my billbuster show tonight (8pm itv)
UPDATE: The Buy Now Pay Later lender this was about was Zilch. In the clip I was sent it sounded like he didn't want the planned regulation. I'm pleased to say it has been in touch to clarify that it does support it, rare for a BNPL firm.
So I asked for a quote to back that up and this is from its CEO Philip Belamant (it doesn't change my view on where it was given a party conference platform tho).
“Unlike other BNPL providers, Zilch has been regulated since launch in 2020 and has long argued for regulation of the whole sector to ensure consumers are protected when they pay. The BNPL industry should be regulated so every other BNPL provider in the UK has to meet the same high standards with the same protections as Zilch.
“In fact, we have stood alone in this industry making the case for swiftly implementing the government’s planned regulation. We back the government’s draft legislation to make sure that BNPL lending is properly regulated and all customers are protected.”
@MayorofLondon At the rate you are going all your gonna have is a loads of people unemployed because they will no long be able to work because of the ulez charge and non compliant cars they can’t afford to replace
We hope to have our new 'how much (more) you'll likely pay under the new energy price guarantee calculator' ready by around 3pm today (we're still waiting a little bit of data)
The increase varies by region & use, so it isn't just the avg 27%
I'll tweet a link when it's ready
@MartinSLewis Great ‘What Makes Us Human’. One of the very best. It takes a lot to make me sit in the car until an interview ends. This was one of those occasions. Missed it then listen on the IPlayer. #radio#emotional
